Review by Jim S. 100% Orange Juice has nothing to do with Orange Juice (or Oranges for that matter). This is a board/ card/ dice game, of the old school variety where luck will come in handy. The game features characters from the Orange_Juice (the game’s developer) catalogue, such as…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. One of my favourite board games growing up was Battleships. Sure, it is a game that is more about luck than anything else, but I still enjoyed the entire flow of the game. It was quick to set up, and matches generally did not take very…
Read MoreReview by Nick H.Chess itself is a game that needs very little introduction or explanation – either you know how to play it or you do not. I learned at a pretty early age, though I have no delusions about having mastered it. In fact, I would openly state that…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Armello is a new Kickstarter worth noting. Developed (largely) in Australia, the game is the brainchild of a small team, but it is a game of real ambition. As you can see from the screenshots and the like, it’s a gorgeous looking fantasy game where animals…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Chess has never been a spectacle of a sport in the same way as other great games are but that hasn’t impeded its capacity to deliver high-stakes, strategic action over a period lengthier than a millennium.

Advance guns, cannons and even machines that look like tanks appear in his portfolio. Magnifico is a popular board game that takes Da Vinci’s…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not surprised that VooFoo Studios decided to make a Backgammon game. After the massive success of its Pure Chess and Hustle Kings parlour games, Backgammon is a natural extension of the capabilities that the team has built up. Unfortunately for VooFoo, while Backgammon Blitz features…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. While I’m not the biggest fan of board and trading card games, I do enjoy it when they get digitised in the form of a game. These digital versions often (if not always) cost less than their physical counterparts, and while they are still better played…
Read MoreReview by Andrew M. One of the best things about the tablet market today is ability for developers to take our childhoods and turn them into iOS apps. I’ve got fond memories of epic games of Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Risk, and now I can now relive it anywhere. Not…
